Feeding Pigs for Early Market.

To grow pigs from six weeks old,
and fit them for market in less than
seven months, Prof. Stewart advises
in the Albany Cutlvator, that they
should be fed the first five months
with the special object of growing their
muscles and bones and producing a
frame on which a good weight can be
put in the last two months. Rye,
oats, wheat bran and perhaps some
low-grade flour may be fed, # the flour
cost less, but shelled corn should have
no placein iteration for feeding young
pigs. When the frame is grown then
cornmeal is the best to put m the fat.
II the rye and oats are worth the same
price per weight, then grind in equal
weight together. When cornmeai is
fed during the special fattening stage,
it would be better to mix an equal
bulk OF bran with it. The bran will
prevent the meal from having Its
usual constipating effect and keep
them healthier Rural New Yorker.

The Culture of Gala Lilies.

From Good Cheer.
In the Gala lily the lover OF beauti-
full flowers has one OF the best OF plants
for general culture; it is not of difficult
growth, nor does it require any espe-
cial care other than abundance of wa
ter. AS house plant it is peculiarly
adaptable to the living-room, where it
thrives under almost any condition OF
temperature.
The soil required by the Gala lily is
a mixture OF rich loam and sand-a
little gravel may be mixed in the soil
for the purpose of drainage, very little
is needed, however, as the plant rather
enjoys a soggy soil than otherwise.
Some amateurs find difficulty in max
ing the Gala bloom, and can account
for this only on the supposltion that
the soil is not kept sufficiently moist.
The pot in which the Gala is planted
should not be too large, as the plant
will do much better if allowed to be.

is for the benefit Of girls who are pre-
disposed to gush:
A habit with our thoughtless young
ladies who do q great many things
quietly which they would not like to

is that OF promiscuous correspond

gentlemen be married or single The
young ladies who find pleasure in this
habituse their pens on any pretext that
turns up, and sometimes on no pre-
text at all. I'VE are not really sure
that this does not come less under the
head OF undesirable habit than, a.
sin; for there is an indelicacy about it
quite amounting to immodesty, Of

was the two professions got badly

the president discovered his mistake,
his carriage made lis way on its
own hook to the station. Twenty
thousand people gathered at the station
to witness his departure. One old negro
who has uniformly voted the demo-

the heads OF the crowd, held out his
hand, saying, God bless you. Massa

soon finds that Wolfson's is the place,
because, in the first place, there is a

to select from, and In the second place,
quality considered, it is the cheapest.
For instance, he has large assortment
OF blankets, white. cOlored or California,
which are offered for sale at from Sl.l5
to $50 per pair, and are in every case
good value for money. There, too, you
can get bedding Of all kinds that you
will find cheap and comfortable during
the winter months. However, satisfy
yourself by calling at the store, and ex-
anime the goods. Then you will find as
others have done, that you get good bar
gains at WolfsoD's.
